Retention
Subcontract retention is the percentage of a committed amount that is held until a specified date after the order is complete. Retention processing applies to ongoing projects and only applies to inventory interface of A and B.
Before entering an order that includes retention, select the Display Retainage Indicator processing option on the Display tab of the Purchase Orders program (P4310). When you enter an order that has retainage, select the Retainage Indicator check box on the order header form. This field notifies the A/P clerk during the voucher match process to double-check the invoice from the supplier to see if there was an amount retained on the invoice. The Retainage Indicator check box can be used with or without the Retainage Percentage field.
